The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Although he didn't see the person's full appearance clearly, Wally wouldn't mistake that figure for Yang Le. First of all, there's the difference in body size, and secondly, Yang Le simply wouldn't need to wear that mask or helmet.

Because Yang Le's alien forms are already the best disguise, there's no need to bother getting himself a battlesuit.

"Who's there?" Courtney also noticed the fleeting figure, but unlike Wally, Courtney only noticed the figure and didn't see what it was.

Before Courtney finished speaking, she strode towards the place where the shadow had flashed, but unfortunately, by the time she got there, the figure had long disappeared.

"What's wrong, Courtney?"

Although Wally knew what had happened, he had to continue playing dumb to hide his identity.

"Something just ran past here." Courtney craned her neck, searching around to see if any clues were left behind.

"Maybe it was just a stray cat." Wally continued to influence Courtney's judgment. "We should go back, or the adults will worry."

"Go back yourself." Courtney glared at Wally, raised the Star-Scepter, and concentrated energy at the top of the staff. The cosmic energy emitted a faint light, like a lamp.

With the light from the Star-Scepter, Courtney could see her surroundings more clearly. At this moment, she found herself standing in the school's courtyard, not far from a door connecting the teaching building and the courtyard. The door was not closed tightly, leaving a barely noticeable gap.

A smirk appeared on her face as Courtney hummed her favorite tune and strode towards the door. Of course, Wally couldn't let Courtney go on an adventure alone, so he had to continue following her, while secretly guarding against possible sudden attacks.

Actually, Wally really wanted to contact Yang Le, but all his equipment, including communication devices, had been sealed. Now, the only adult hero he could contact was the Flash, but Courtney had already told him to turn off his phone, so contacting others was impossible.

After all, Wally is just an ordinary middle school student and can't possibly beat Courtney, who has the Star-Scepter. To protect his hidden identity, Wally had to obey.

However, Wally wasn't too worried. After all, he knew Yang Le was nearby, and since he hadn't returned so late, he guessed his mother had already notified Uncle Barry. Even if he searched door-to-door using a clumsy method, it wouldn't take him long to find himself.

While thinking, the two had already entered the school's corridor. To say nothing else, an empty corridor late at night is very likely to evoke fear, at least Courtney had already started holding the Star-Scepter with both hands and shrinking her body, without any of the invincible aura she had earlier.

Seeing this, Wally was about to comfort Courtney when a shadow flashed past the end of the corridor again. Under the light of the Star-Scepter, both of them could easily notice the shadow, even though it was moving very fast.

"Where!" Courtney was completely different from her frightened appearance just now and chased after it.

'Are you not afraid that it is a ghost?' Wally helplessly continued to follow behind Courtney. As soon as he took a step, Wally noticed something was wrong.

When they noticed the shadow in the courtyard, it took them some time to realize that the other party had run into the teaching building, but when they chased into the teaching building, they could still see the shadow. This was obviously illogical, and the shadow couldn't have failed to run through the corridor in such a short distance at that speed.

"Courtney." Wally whispered. "Stop chasing, the other party is luring us."

"So what?" Courtney raised her eyebrows.

"The other party might have an ambush." Wally was almost driven crazy by Courtney. How could she not think of such an obvious thing?

Crap, I used to be like this, didn't I?

Unknowingly, Wally West had grown a little. He decided that he must apologize to the elders later. Being a hothead really raises blood pressure.

Before long, Wally and Courtney had run to the front of the gymnasium. Facing the open door, Courtney plunged in without hesitation. Wally deliberately slowed down two steps, in order to have time to react to sudden attacks.

Courtney stopped after rushing into the gymnasium. The friction between her shoes and the floor made a harsh sound. Wally was too lazy to remind her, after all, Courtney was holding a large light source in her hand. If there were really enemies, it would be difficult for them not to notice it.

Blue Valley High School's gymnasium is the multi-functional type, which can be used for various sports. Just prepare the equipment for whatever sport you want to play. Because the volleyball competition was held a few days ago, the gymnasium was also arranged as a volleyball court.

Courtney scanned the entire gymnasium. The volleyball net couldn't block her sight, but unfortunately, the moonlight shining in through the windows was really too dim. Helpless, Courtney had to raise the Star-Scepter and scan around again.

"Behind you, Courtney!"

Wally's urgent voice came. Before Courtney understood what had happened, she felt a force coming from her side. Unstable, she immediately fell out. On the way out, she saw the person who pushed her, it was Wally.

Looking past Wally, Courtney knew why Wally pushed her. A blade with a faint cold light brushed past Wally's body. Beyond the blade, Courtney saw the attacker.

The person was wearing a helmet that only showed one eye. The color scheme of the helmet was half and half, one side black and one side orange. Courtney couldn't help but shudder when she saw the person's exposed eye. That eye had no emotion at all, as if Wally and Courtney were not human beings in his eyes, but two lambs to be slaughtered.

The sharp blade cut through the air. In the masked man's playful eyes, Courtney and Wally fell not far away. Unlike Courtney, who really fell, Wally used the force to roll a half circle and squatted on the ground, vigilantly looking at him.

"Interesting." The masked man twirled his sword. "I thought my sword could cut off two heads just now. Was it my mistake? Or did I meet an interesting guy?"

Unlike the relaxed Deathstroke, Wally was facing a formidable enemy at this time. Wally recognized the other party's identity from that iconic helmet and armor, it was the famous…

"Deathstroke." Wally stretched out a hand to protect Courtney behind him. He was already considering an escape route at this time.

Although Wally has the Speed Force, he doesn't think he can compete with Deathstroke. Even the Flash has been knocked down by Deathstroke while running. Wally doesn't think he will be his opponent in his current state.

"Not just." Deathstroke shook his head. Wally's heart suddenly sounded the alarm. When he turned his head, a slender spike had already pierced out from the darkness.
